"Why did she take Xiao Zhuo to provoke Feng Xi when she had nothing to do?"
In the front yard of the Hou Mansion, Qi Xiao's expression changed after listening to Qin Zhui's report, and he spoke almost without thinking.
Since Dajin and Beidi often harassed the border, he spent most of his childhood at Hanyuguan.
Xie Wanyin's father, Xie Bin, once served as a military supervisor and was forced to stay in Hanyuguan for a long time.
Therefore, Xie Wanyin had a good relationship with the Qi family, especially under the influence of his mother, the wife of the Hou family who wanted a daughter but could not get her. He played with Xie Wanyin a lot when he was a child.
This is probably the reason why Xie Wanyin rejects others but always likes to interfere in his affairs.
But he could tolerate what happened before, even if the other party disrupted his plan more than once, causing him to be treated even more harshly by Feng Xi.
Only this time, even if there was a little friendship from childhood, he felt it was over.
"Master, Miss Xie may also want to play with Master Zhuo... With her gentle and kind temperament, it is quite normal that she cannot protect others in front of the princess..."
Qin Zhui has followed Qi Xiao since he was a child. Although he is not familiar with Xie Wanyin, he can see the difference in how the other treats his master.
Thinking about how heavy the snow was falling that day, she was the only one who rushed to her master and risked her life to protect him!
Then he saw his master's indifferent eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him at all...
So Qin Zhui had no choice but to smooth things over and said:
"No matter what, fortunately, Master Zhuo and Princess Consort are fine. They must be on their way back to the courtyard now..."
Before Qin Zhui finished speaking, he saw a beautiful figure running out of the courtyard. The light green palace dress made of silk and satin, and the compelling momentum of others getting out of the way. Who else could be there besides Princess Zhaoming?
But what she was holding in her arms was not...
Almost at the same time that Qin Zhui was petrified, Feng Xi's wise eyes fell on Qi Xiao, and then Ru Yan rushed over like throwing a pot into a pot.
So the next second, Qi Zhuo, the little dumpling that Qin Zhuizhiyan had stuck on the spot, was firmly stuffed into Qi Xiao's hand.
Qi Xiao: "?"
Ignoring the confusion in his eyes, Feng Xi sat directly next to him and drank tea without any intention of explaining.
However, Qi Zhuo's eyes lit up, he hugged his neck and said:
"Uncle!"
Hearing this, Qi Xiao also had a rare smile in his eyes and said:
"Why did Xiao Zhuo come here with the princess?"
He asked tactfully, but Qi Zhuo's answer was very direct.
"No, Xiaozhuo didn't follow me here, he was snatched from my mother by the princess."
Qi Xiao: "?"
Seeing a certain Aotian's eyes drifting towards her again, Feng Xi, after finishing her tea, finally said:
"Nonsense! This palace is obviously a sincere invitation! Grab, cough, one and two, please, can you make a profit?"
He looked back at Qi Zhuo, who seemed to be persuaded by Feng Xi, and then at Bai Yi, who appeared in the yard shortly after, with an obviously anxious look on his eyebrows. Qi Xiao didn't understand anything.
Bai Yi, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his son was in Qi Xiao's hands.
However, this tone was obviously relieved.
Because as she and Qi Zhuo appeared in the front yard, many people in the yard had quietly focused their attention.
The affairs of the Qi family are not a secret, especially the fact that Qi Shuai Qi Yuanming gave the title to his eldest family but did not leave it to his son and grandson, which made many people laugh.
Among them, Qi Xiao was raised in Hanyuguan since he was a child, and he had two very promising brothers, so the Jokhang family actually paid very little attention to him.
Therefore, as soon as Qi Shuai's letter came out, everyone assumed that he was a waste.
Even though the emperor later ignored Qi Shuai's military exploits and forced him to marry into the arrogant and domineering Feng Xi, no one said a word of injustice on his behalf.
But his late son, Qi Shen, was different. He was hailed as the perfect successor to Commander Qi. He went to the battlefield with Commander Qi at the age of fifteen, and was awarded the title of General of Hussars at the age of seventeen, which attracted many women in the capital.
But it was this man who many aristocratic families wanted to recruit as their son-in-law, but he rejected all the ladies from high families and married a border doctor girl with no background.
Even though this medical woman has outstanding appearance and excellent medical skills, she is still ashamed of many aristocratic families in the capital.
Especially those who spent a lot of effort to find a way out of Mrs. Qi and Qi Su.
In short, Bai Yi was hated and envied by many people at that time.
However, with the fall of the three generals of the Qi family, the initial jealousy and envy instantly turned into gloating...
This also made them more curious about Bai Yi and Qi Zhuo's current situation.
Bai Yi naturally knew what these people were thinking, and she didn't care, but the child was still young, so she rarely brought Qi Zhuo out to show her face, until today...
"Look at how pitiful that child is, with a sallow complexion and thin skin. As long as my mother is a bit capable and her mother-in-law is tougher, she won't be..."
"Those who come from a small family are ignorant. Not only do they not raise their children well, they also don't know the etiquette. Look at those clothes..."
"Don't even say it. It's already pitiful for people to be orphaned and widowed now. When the time comes, the mother will hear you nagging her a lot. What will she do if she remarries and has a child?"
…
The words of the people around him were so harsh that Bai Yi's face turned pale as he stood in front of the courtyard gate.
At this moment, she didn't even know whether she should move forward and walk to Qi Zhuo and Qi Xiao.
Because she seemed to be the source of criticism and had countless cold looks on her body.
"Uncle, shouldn't my mother and I come..."
Not only Bai Yi heard these words, Qi Zhuo also obviously heard them.
He is a child, but not a fool.
However, the person who answered him was not Qi Xiao with a solemn expression, but Feng Xi who didn't understand the situation.
"Don't internalize yourself, blame others. What do you mean you and your mother shouldn't come? It's obvious that you deserve to die even if you're just gossiping, do you understand?"
All the talkative women: "..."
Feng Xi's words were not contained at all, and they were so lethal that the entire front yard fell silent in an instant.
However, this person didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him at all, and even said to the people in front of him, one large and one small, who were staring blankly at him:
"If I were the one, I would have to cut off their tongues and feed them to the dogs. Tsk, no, that would be a bit embarrassing to the dogs..."
The gossips: "..."
Qi Zhuo, on the other hand, looked at Feng Xi with bright eyes, completely forgetting that she said he was a good beggar.
Qi Xiaoze raised his eyebrows, and his peach blossom eyes smiled at Feng Xi for the first time.
At this time, Mrs. Qi and others who were walking behind finally arrived and met Qi Su and Qi Yu who looked gloomy in the courtyard.
The people standing next to these two people were none other than Xie Lian and Xie Lang who had just arrived in the mansion.
However, as soon as Feng Xi appeared, she stole all their limelight, and incidentally turned the originally harmonious atmosphere into the deserted and ghostly state it is now.
Of course, for the Qi family and his son, Feng Xi's power of stealing the limelight is far less lethal than Feng Xi's standing up for Bai Yi and his son.
Looking at Feng Xi sitting next to Qi Xiao naturally, showing no trace of disgust as before, Qi Su felt that there was something they had to do today.
"Yu'er, go and invite the princess and Xiao'er to sit at the main table."
